I have a PowerBI file that used to work fine, but I had to rebuild my machine and now it can't connect to the SQL Azure database it needs to, and I don't understand why. Here are a few datapoints:
- I have owner access to the service/database
- In the Azure portal, I've added my machine's IP address to the firewall exceptions list so it doesn't get blocked
- On my machine, I can connect VS to the database and query it with no problem, using AD integrated authentication and my corp account
- When I upload this file to run in PowerBI online, it is able to connect and query the database
- I'm running the latest version of the PowerBI desktop
- I have Microsoft PowerBI Desktop and Microsoft PowerBI Desktop (x64): Analysis Services Component added to the apps list that allows communication through the firewall on my machine
- I've deleted all the connections using File->Options & Settings->Data Source Settings and tried to start over with establishing the connection.
But when I attempt to connect to the db in PowerBI, it tells me it couldn't authenticate with the credentials provider. Looking at the diagnostric traces it has a bunch of errors with the comment: "Windows logins are not supported in this version of SQL Server", which seems to imply the problem is that I'm not using the right authentication mode, but I don't see anyway to set the authentication mode explicitly (to force it to use AAD authentication instead).
I ran into this problem once before, but I don't remember what I did that finally fixed it. Any suggestions?
